Both reform and "revolution" have their risks.
With reform, you are betting on a slow fight with less suffering and slow progress.
-Risk: Constant pressure from the right/ruling class will overwhelm any progress made.
With "revolution" you are wagering that a major amount of suffering will result in faster progress.
-Risk: Uncertainty. You cannot guarantee that the "good guys" will come out on top. And that is assuming America is operating in a vacuum. There are major superpowers who would absolutely love to take the land and resources we have. As well as others who would love to get a blow in for the suffering we have inflicted on them.
I am going to hold out hope for reform until USA's Zohran Mamdani Arc is over. If he is elected and able to reform NY, I will be staying on the reform side, since that will prove it is possible with enough time and effort.
Thank you for having this conversation and being willing to continue it.
I would caution you about your wording when discussing this in the future because phrasing mass suffering as, "a simple math equation" sounds horribly callous.
